The cost of Fruiting Tree and Vine insurance largely depends on the type and age of the trees or vines, their location and the perils to be insured. This cover is usually quite competitively priced.

The cost of Crop insurance will largely depend on the crop type and use (fresh or processed), crop location, perils to be insured, selected excess, loss history and any loss mitigation factors. This cover can be expensive, especially if frost cover is required.
